Review : January GlossyBox

It's that time again. GLOSSYBOX. Everytime i get my parcel i immediate rip! yes... rip! open the box with excitement. This month's box is probably going to be one of my favourites. Not only did i get 5 full sized products, but all the items i got were exactly the kind of products i use, and needed.

Here's what i got :

Jelly Pong Pong 

All Over Glow 

Full Size : £10 for 15g

GlossyBox send Jelly Pong Pong products frequently, so i'm not new to the brand. I love there mascara, so i was happy to see another products of there's to try out. The All Over glow is an oil-free illuminating gel that highlights the cheeks and brow bone. The gel is a dark brown colour with a glittery effect. Once applied on skin, it leaves a shimmering effect left by the glitter as well as a shine. Now, i'm not a huge fan of glitter products unless i'm applying it to my toes, but this product is very subtle so the shine is more noticeable than the actually left over glitter. Something i'm obviously happy about. 

Naked Lips

Organic Lip Balm Superfruits

Yummy. Is the first word that comes to mind with this product. It smells delicious! Glides smoothly onto the lips, leaving a nice natural shine. I love it. And everyone needs to get one of these.

MeMeMe

Eye Line Pencil In Clay

Full Size £4

MeMeMe is again, another frequent product from the GlossyBox and one that i've had a love, hate relationship with. I'm glad that GlossyBox sent me a brown eye liner pencil and not black. I don't use black, so this was a bonus point on there part. The product is the same typical size of any other eye liner with a smooth textured body, which just makes the handling of the product more comfortable. It is a very soft eye pencil, probably the softest i've ever used, but this isn't a problem as i much prefer soft pencils anyway. It glides on really easy and if your wanting a smudge effect you can also smudge it easy too.

Kueshi Natural & Pleasant Cosmetics

Revitalising Face Toner

Revitalising Face Toner doesn't smell like your typical toner, it actually smells SO GOOD! Not bland or strong. It smells like... shampoo. A fruity shampoo. It is your typical toner, urging that it'l make the skin smoother, controls shine in oil prone area's, leaving the skin feeling heathy, fresh and clean. I haven't used this product yet, but the smell has won me over, which must say alot if one whiff and i'm already hooked.

Colorluxe Powder Blush

My favourite from this months GlossyBox is the Colorluxe Powder Blush. I'm in need of a blush, so it must be magic that GlossyBox knew this. I lovelovelove how you apply it. On the top of the product there is an already attached soft, powered puff applicator making it very easy apply without any mess. There is also a mirror on top of the lid, so as i like to say, it can be a  ' blush as you go ' product. It isn't an over powdering colour, leaving your cheeks with a natural blush effect with no shine or sparkles. My perfect kind of blush, very matte. 

                                                                   

                                                                          Goodjob GlossyBox!

OCTOBER GLOSSYBOX : POP ART EDITION

It's that time again.. the arrival of the mystery GlossyBox for £10 on a pay monthly plan. I've been on and off GlossyBox for the last couple of months. I start my plan and then end up cancelling to save money, but then i see other reviews and end up subscribing again. I can't stay away.

This month, the Glossybox has a Pop Art theme and said to be of value for £50. I couldn't be more excited! Coming from an creative art background, i was more excited about the box than the actual products. I'm very impressed by the quality, and i'm already planning some creative DIY to hang the box on my wall. Let me know if you want pictures to follow.

This month the box consisted of 4 full size products. A nice surprise as i normally get on average 2. They are the Ciate Nail Vanish, Full size priced at £9. So Susan Mascara, £14.95, LipLift Peel, $12.95 and the Nuxe face mask £19.50.

The two sample products were a miniature perfume from Yves rocher and the Rimmel London BB Cream which... i have actually been wanting to try, so i was delighted by this. GlossyBox must have known!

I'm definitely most excited to get the So Susan Mascara, Ciate Nail Vanish and the Perfume. 

Ciate Nail Vanish is always good quality, gliding on smooth and lasts a while. The cute little bow on the bottle gives it that little bit extra effort and more appealing to use. I always love getting new nail vanish as it doesn't get wasted. I don't own a white one either so this will make a good edition to my collection. 

So Susan mascara, well, we can never have too many mascaras. I've had a couple of things from So Susan sent by GlossyBox and i mostly like there mascaras. They do the job of enhancing your eye lashes and it stays on for most of the day. I also find i don't get the typical panda eyes which seem to be my biggest problem when it comes to mascaras. Although i like So Susan, i find it difficult to get hold of there products as they always seem to be sold out.

I also love getting mini perfume samples. I don't always get the chance to try new perfume smells so having little samples sent to me makes it easier to try before i buy online. When i first applied the perfume, it was a very strong, sweet distinct smell, but now that it has settle i really like it. After 10 minutes the strong smell had faded and it's much more suttle . I'd say it's an every day go to work perfume rather than a want to be noticed perfume. The normal sized perfume is priced at £33 for 30ml which i think is a reasonable price. The bottle is pretty basic, but it does the job and is easy to apply.

I'm impressed by the LipLift Peel by Etre Belle. I first applied it without reading the back thinking it was a lip moisturiser and was really confused to why it had granules in the texture and immediately wiped it off ( Silly Me ). Now that i've used to product PROPERLY, i was not expecting the results that i got.  I have quite rough, cracked lips with dead skin. You could say i have nightmare lips. Immediately after using this product, i could see a huge difference AND with only one use. My lips look healthier and the dead skin has gone. They also feel softer and made applying my lip balm smoother.

I had seen the Lush Lip scrubs but i didn't fully understand there purpose. Now that i have tried this product i'll be converting to try out different products for my lips.

Great October Box GlossyBox!
